About Us:

No pressure. Just great service!

Buying or selling a home can be a great experience- if you have a real estate professional who is dedicated to providing the finest service available.

Because the real estate industry is becoming more sophisticated and challenging every day, you need a professional that understands the industry and is positioned to stay ahead in the business.

I am a full-time realtor with 8+ years of experience. I will listen to you, work to understand your needs, and help you to identify and achieve your goals. That's why I constantly research the market and property values so your home is priced effectively from day one. Utilizing up-to-date technology, I am uniquely qualified to create and apply innovative advertising and marketing techniques to attract potential buyers. Through the use of "high-tech and high-touch" methods, your home will be ready to sell and the public will know all about it.

Whether you are an experienced or a first time seller, I will provide you with all of the information you will need, handle the details, and competently guide you through the sale of your house.

I specialize in representing my clients in the purchases and sales of single-family residences in the metro east communities. I keep current of all transactions in the area, and I'm also very knowledgeable with the local schools.

Personal

I'm a lifetime resident of the metro east. I have a wonderful husband and three great kids. Current hobbies of mine include spending time with my family, traveling, working on stained glass projects and volunteering with various programs and organizations.

Community Contributions

Giving back to the community is one of my greatest passions. I am a member of the Collinsville Chamber of Commerce, tutor children in the Homework and Hoops program at St. Johns UCC, serve as Corporate Sponsor Chairperson for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, support the Fighting Illini Orange Krush Foundation and a portion of every closing is donated directly to the Children's Miracle Network.

Our Clients Say...

Our Clients Say...

Dear Tammy,

On behalf of the Board of Education, Administration, Staff and Students of the Collinsville Area Vocational Building Trades program, thank you for the time and energy you put forth in selling our building trades house. In addition, I can't thank you enough for the donation of your commission on the sale of the house. That in itself shows that you are truly interested in the welfare of the school, the district and the community.

I felt you were exceptionally professional and knowledgable of the real estate market. You truly are an exemplary realtor and it was our pleasure to have the opportunity to work with you on this project.

Once again, thank you for your time, efforts and donation of commission. If you should ever need a reference, please contact me.

Sincerely,

Dennis E. Craft, Ed.D.
Superintendent, Unit 10

Voted in the Top 3 Favorite Metro East Agents in the Suburban Journal's "Best of 2007" and "Best of 2008" Readers Poll

Every week I get thank you cards and letters from clients, some that I have shared with you below. And every time I get a card or letter it makes me feel even better about what I do and how I do it.

I work very hard for my clients and always strive to do the right thing. I don't do it for the recognition or awards, I do it because that's what my clients need and expect. Just a simple thank you from a client is in itself very rewarding.

Now imagine my surprise when I got a phone call from the Suburban Journal's staff informing me that I was selected in the top 3 Favorite Agents in the paper's "Best Of 2007" and again in the "Best Of 2008" Readers Poll.

Again, I don't work as hard as I do for the recognition. I do it because it's right. To be recognized with this honor is beyond flattering. It is a great honor to be recognized not only by my clients, but the readers of the Suburban Journal as well. To all those who voted for me, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

We thought we were ready to look for a house, but we weren't, and Tammy was amazingly patient and understanding. When we finally called her back, she was more than willing to spend hours answering our hundreds of questions and calming our concerns. She never hesitated to return our emails, meet us any time of any day, or reassure us that we would undoubtedly find 'the one.' Tammy was more than we ever could have wished for. Not only was she honest and genuine, but she was never pushy and always made us laugh. Viewing houses with her was like spending time with a treasured friend. She always made us feel important--she still sends both of us messages on MySpace! We can't thank her enough for her generosity and for finding us our dream home!

Dear Tammy & Rick,

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for the wonderful job you did on selling my property for me. You are two of the nicest, most wonderful people I've ever met. I've thanked Dave many times for the referral. This card and gift card are just a small token of my appreciation for all you've done. Dave showed me the thank you card you sent him. He thinks very highly of you both. I hope you both can relax and have a nice dinner together.

Your Friend and Client,

Cindy

I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping us relocate and purchase our new home.

Laura and I have relocated to three different cities in the past five years and I have to say that from Chicago, St. Louis and Dallas-Fort Worth you were the wisest and most accommodating Realtor we have been with. Your professionalism and knowledge helped make the transition seamless. (I wish you organized the entire relocation process)

Purchasing a new home is a very difficult and emotional process. When you throw in the fact that the new home will be approximately 800 miles away it really raises the challenge of finding the right one. I was very impressed on your follow up and attention to detail via e-mail. It was if you were next door to us in Dallas!

Your understanding of your unique relocation challenges was key in this transaction. I want everyone to know about your outstanding service and commitment to the customer.

Thank you again & best wishes from my family to yours!

Brian, Laura, Brittany, Cole, & Sonya

Tammy catered to the fact that I was a first-time buyer and relatively blind to the transaction process. The whole process was quite simple thanks to Tammy
